What The Venture Outdoors Staff is Thankful For – 2018

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we’re continuing with our #30DaysOfGratitude by sharing what the Venture Outdoors staff is grateful for today.

Joey-Linn Ulrich, Executive Director

“I am thankful for my oldest daughter’s next adventure as a college freshman at The Ohio State University.

And speaking of college…..I am also thankful for all of the interns that work with us at Venture Outdoors throughout the year. Some are in high school, some are in college, and all are committed to our mission of getting everyone outside! They are truly a great asset and do so much to help us meet our mission. I look forward to meeting each one of them every time they arrive at our office and learning their stories of connecting to the outdoors.”

Ian Brown, Program Director

“I’m thankful for community strength and resiliency during this time of tragedy, and for the support of friends and family. This picture makes me smile and helps me remember all the beautiful things all around us.”

Liz Fager, Community Program Manager

“I’m thankful for the ability to have outdoor adventures in new places.”
